Why Are You Like This?

[OtherMan]

… because it’s fit that I should be so…

 

[Bry1313]

Because I can’t help myself

 

[BongoGal]

My doctor says it’s my hormones

I can't say that I've had a doctor tell me that, but it would help explain things.
("Doc, I've been super horny lately."
"How long have you felt like this?"
"Oh, about thirty years.")

Doc: I see. Just put your feet in the stirrups and try to relax.

(Sorry @BongoGal couldn’t resist)

Because when your sense of humor is self deprecating enough you kind of gaslight yourself into believing you suck eventually

Been there, done that, still do.

 

[AmberLGreen]

I get bored easily

 

[HeavyBalls]

Years of trauma, an everpresent fear of and hatred of ridicule. Massive nerd interests.

 

[BongoGal]

I get bored easily

For me, that explains a lot.

My daddy was a prick , and I was the fastest swimmer in the entire competition!

#apologiesinadvance

 

[Bry1313]

Cause I can’t help myself even if I know I should.

 

[VoraciousValue]

My daddy was a prick , and I was the fastest swimmer in the entire competition!

(Audience member at a Andrew Dice Clay concert): "Where did you come from?"

"My dad's penis, originally."

 

[Chillygirl]

Trauma, broken trust

 

[Animaul]

Cause my mom said I could be whatever I wanted to be.

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

I believe that my anxiety started right aboouut here:

ETA: doubly so when I’m the top post on the page. I hate that

 

[BadAmy]

why am I like this?

what are you, my fuckin therapist?

no seriously.
Since I am so profoundly self-aware,
I am like this because I am closer to death than birth.
All my "ride or die" are in this box,
and I have nothing to lose.

And xanax.

A dear friend asked me this question this morning. I've been thinking about ever since. The truth is that I have no idea why I'm like this. If a stranger approached you and asked, "Why are you like this?" What would your answer be. (btw I'm going to do this to random strangers today. Why am I like this??)

I am the way I am because of all the decisions I have made in my life as well as some of the trauma and damage I have seen. My therapist said last May when I started seeing her that it took this many years to get to now and will take just as long to find a better path.

 

[Weirdnessome]

My non-healthy childhood which misguided my choices and also some screws loose

 

[barefootgirl69]

Not enough sleep last night.

 

[easyoff]

Because I couldn't care less

 

[BongoGal]

Oddball hormones that have somehow gotten stronger with age.

I just started dinner. I set the oven for 350, by coincidence it was exactly 3:50 pm.

The display read:

3:50 3:50

I had a brief but palpable existential meltdown.
Why am I like this?

 

[Chillygirl]

Because I am an albatross around my own neck. I sabotage my own happiness cause why do I deserve to be happy?!

Because you’re a good person. Happiness is a choice. Choose it!

Edit: that is so over simplified, but the sentiment rings true.
